ESPN's Coley Harvey spoke to family spokesman Jordon Rooney.
"Doctors overnight got promising readings that they had been hoping to see by this morning," Harvey tweeted. "Jordon couldn’t go into specifics, but progress appears to be made."
Hamlin had reportedly been using 100% ventilator power on Monday night but that was reduced to 50% on Tuesday. All while, ESPN's Bart Scott criticized Higgins for his contact on the fateful play.
"Damar’s father is among those calling for any criticisms of Bengals WR Tee Higgins (who was part of the play Damar was injured on) to STOP," Harvey tweeted.
…they were mad. They were frustrated. If you think you’re supporting Damar by bashing Tee, you’re not supporting Damar. …They don’t agree with anything that’s being said. It was a freak football accident that could have happened with anyone at any time. Tee has reached out. He has went above and beyond. All signs point to him being a great human being who genuinely cares and feels bad. The family feels bad that Tee would have any guilt towards this situation
